Kafka has some issues wuth IO level admin functionalities e.g. file deletion/renaming doesn't work out of the box like Linux. However, user base is growing and there's a momentum to support Windows OS seamlessly like Linux.
I have been running some stress tests on Windows and the performance is quite consistent. If you have any findings you would like to share, please publish them. Please read Kafka documentation where there are some disclaimers regarding OS support.
